Description: | The Alhambra Palace at Granada was built from the mid-13th century onwards, during Islamic Arab rule in Spain. A throne area opens off this hall, which is splendidly decorated with tiles and painted plaster mouldings in abstract designs. This watercolour was painted from sketches made by David Roberts during his 1832-33 visit to Spain - a very unusual destination for a British artist at this time. Roberts later published prints of Spanish scenes. He was very concerned with architectural accuracy in his views. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1834 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | David Roberts (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
